🛠️ Development update #2
Added 2025-05-05 20:13:50 +0000 UTCHello Slippers! 👋
The end of April tends to be a bit slower due to the holiday season (Easter, National Pride Days here in Poland). But despite all the breaks and time off, we've hit some solid milestones - and here’s what the team’s been up to lately:
⚔️ Gameplay:
Our focus has been on adding a new enemy type, while continuing to refine combat and prototype systems for deckbuilding.
New enemy: Hulk Knight – a heavy type with high damage and defense capabilities
Snow White’s attack tweaks and refinements
Deckbuilding systems – we're building out mechanics for buff/attack modifiers and synergy systems
📜 Story:
Writing this month has been all about nailing our tone in dialogue and laying the groundwork for visual novel elements:
New story bits for the main cast
Lore work for both NPCs and the player avatar
Narrative design tying VN-style storytelling into character development
🎨 Art:
The art team’s working on a new battle test arena using proper game assets and lighting. A new biome has entered the concept phase, and several characters have received concept or animation updates.
New battle arena for the upcoming Patreon build
New NPCs:
Fairy Godmother (player's guide)
Mr. Snail (vendor)
Maidens Ward got a new room for the Fortuneteller NPC
Animations for a long-range/agile enemy
Huntsman boss is getting final attack animations
Fire FX work for deck buffs and special attack visuals
🔜 What can you expect in the next Patreon build?
Battle tweaks, gameplay polish, and - most importantly - the Hulk Knight will be available for testing in both the old and new battle arenas!
As always, we’re eager to hear your feedback on Discord
Happy axe swinging,
Mass Creation Team

Snow White's attack animation is perfection

2025-05-25 19:18:21 +0000 UTCI don't know if the devs would make an expansion to this game past the Grimm tales. Maybe if it is successful enough..

2025-05-22 20:45:52 +0000 UTCGuys - just a gentle reminder that Swords & Slippers, especially here on Patron, is a restful, kinda wild, and sometimes bold space full of good vibes. We kindly ask that religious or divisive political debates stay out of open, public threads - they don’t rly bring anything useful or fun to the mix. Thanks for locking in and for keeping things cool and at peace <3

2025-05-05 20:32:57 +0000 UTCI'd prefer Tinker Bell over fairy godmother but I supposed that wouldn't make much sense here lol
